let's do this!!

Last week, i posted that i was behind in my couponing.  In fact, I was about 3 weeks behind.  I've been so fortunate that I have "clipper" friends who've been giving me their coupons, but sadly they all remain in the envelopes that were given to me.  And let's not even talk about the STALK of inserts that have been patiently waiting to be cut also.  My dining room table looks like i hoard newspaper inserts.

i have a stack of printed out coupons waiting to be cut.  i also have a stack of envelopes FILLED with coupons that people have cut for me. 

my HUGE stack of uncut inserts.  i'm sure the bottom half of the stack is expired already.  so sad!

I also have to go through my binder because i'm certain there's some expired stuff in there too.

HOWEVER, my plate is now more than half empty & I can give my couponing some more time.  If you haven't seen the Sunday paper yet, there were Twice The Value coupons in the Albertsons insert.  YAY!!  Those are only good through tomorrow though, so I'll be heading over there to shop tomorrow morning for a few things.  SO not going to the FW location though, before someone hits my parked car again.

Here's what I'll be getting at ALBERTSONS...

 **Kraft Cheese (block or shredded) - On Sale for $1.00.  There is a $1.00 off 2 coupon near the cheese & use it with your double & it becomes $2.00 off 2, making it FREE!

 **Starkist Tuna Pouches - On Sale for $1.00.  There's a $1.00 off 1 in the AllYou Magazine - Sept issue.  Making this FREE

 **Essential Pasta - On Sale for $1.00.  In the Albertsons "Fresh for Fall" coupon book, they have a $1.00 off 1 box of pasta.  Making this FREE.  If you take 5 of the books when you walk in, you can get 5 boxes for free.  

 **CEREAL DEAL.  Buy 5 of any General Mills items, they will be $1.88ea:  Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Chex, Chex Mix, Bugles, Gardettos, Nature Valley Granola Bars or Thins, Fruit Snacks.

     DEAL TO TRY:   Buy 2 boxes of Cheerios & 3 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

                                  Use $1.00 off 2 boxes of Cheerios coupon

                                  Use $1.00 off 3 boxes of General Mills cereal coupon

                                  Use 2 Twice the Value coupons (gives you $4.00 off)

                                  Pay $5.40 total, which makes it $1.08 per box.

And then I'll head to FRED MEYER & do this deal....

  Last week (on 10/2 in the P&G ad) there was a coupon for $8.00 off 2 CoverGirl Face Products.  Of course you have to figure out what a "face" product is, but luckily for me Angela at TheCouponProject did the deal & posted about it.  You can get:  Blush, Concealer, Powder or Foundation.  The mascaras & lipsticks are excluded.

  She bought:

     1 Blush @ $3.49

     1 Concealer @ $3.49

     1 Powder @ $5.99

     1 Foundation @ $5.99

  Her subtotal was $18.96, she used 2 of the $8.00 off 2 coupons, making it $2.96 (give or take for tax) for all 4 products, or $0.74 ea.  

I always buy makeup around competition time for hula, so this is AWESOME for me. :)

I'll post up after my shopping trips to tell whether it works out or not.  :)  Happy couponing!!
